Hello, I am remaking this post into a discussion thread so everybody can give me their opinion.I have built gaming computers for a decade now and after getting a good job i decided i will spend anything required to have an extreme gaming computer and now a computer for working. I do a lot of multitasking, 3d animation projects and gaming. Obviously what gives you speed and performance is the clock-speed of the memory not the quantity of memory. U wish i can get a good answer based on DDR3 and DDR4 type memory but lets focus on DDR3.
Best answer i got in the other thread:
Tradesman1: "What mobo and CPU are you looking at? If 2011 socket then a 4 (4x4GB or 4x8GB) stick setup so you can use quad channel, if looking at 1150 the either a 2x8GB (16GB is prob the minimum you want with what you are doing) or 4x8GB, mobo and CPU will determine what freqs you can use"
I guess if the motherboard supports quad channel more sticks will be better but lets focus on dual channel or just in what is better more sticks or less if it surpass thee channel capability.
